Graphic number 2 shows several red-brown lesions on the front thorax and abdomen. The papules have an annular shape, are distributed individually, and vary significantly in size. Their size can be estimated between 1 and 10 mm. With those characteristics in mind, it is possible to include erythema multiforme, nummular eczema, and secondary syphilis in the differential diagnosis.

Although round lesions are usually associated with nummular eczema (Ely & Stone, 2010b), that condition needs to be excluded because the size of lesions is smaller than 1 cm (LeBlond, Brown, & DeGowin, 2009). Finally, erythema multiforme can be excluded because ...

Introduction

Art has over the years been used as a form of expression. It is through art that various artists have been able to present their thoughts and feelings regarding various events, peoples, cultures, and occurrences to their audiences. In Preble’s Art forms Chapter 5, the author builds on the idea that arts are based on various objectives and motives by their artists. The Chapter argues that there are three theories upon which the creation of art is based. This paper will first of all discuss these three theories and apply these theories to the artwork Violet faces Red Side ...

Fear appeals are now widely used not only to sell merchandise but to promote issues like health, security, financial safety and other things. LaTour, Snipes and Bliss noted that:
“In using fear appeals, some negative behavior is usually associated with a negative effect, like smoking and lung cancer, or a positive behavior, unpracticed, is associated with a negative effect, like brushing teeth and cavities” (1996, cited in Mayfield, 2006).

Over the years, several theories have been developed that thought to have influenced the swaying effect of fear appeals. One of these theories is the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) which suggests ...

Graphic design

This is the art of using rich media to pass message. Graphic design involves careful consideration of harmonious relationships amongst the kinds of media used. In the website design graphics have been used more largely. The aim of using the same is to strongly capture the viewer’s attention. Images tend to be remembered easily as compared to text words. In addition, using images to pass a message results in the intended audience getting the real photographic recording, which is easier to store and retrieve, in his or her memory with regard to the message passed.

Vocabulary Strategies

Assessments

ELL/Special Needs Changes

Definition Copying

Definition copying involves forcing students to list vocabulary and definitions of words as they are presented (Phillips et al, 2003).

Checking the answers of students to determine if they have the correct definition.

Words would likely be simpler for special needs students.

Context Clues

Context clues prompt students to learn words as a result of their specific usage (Phillips et al, 2003).

Interventions could be given to see if students pick up on context clues.

Understanding context would be more difficult for special needs; extra effort would be required to give them context.

Word Selection

Teachers rank words according to ...

The Art of System Architecting by Rechtin (2009) infers that system Architecture “is the art or science of building and constructing system for human use.” Experts with design knowledge are the source of decisions in architecture. Brooks says that architecture is the art of determining the needs of a user then designing a structure that meets a client specification with no technological and economic constrains. Architecture has to include engineering factors to ensure the design is economically feasible. The word system imply on the conceptual structure and functional behavior of the interrelated components from data flows, logical design, and the physical implementation. ...

Filters

Filters might not work in Internet explorer because it is not possible to mix images and gradient on one image. There are versions of internet explorer which do not support multiple backgrounds in a native manner. It is required that the mixture be done individually. Filters should be used on individual elements and not mixing the features and the properties together. One alternative to achieving this would be to have the image use the gradient and let the image have a <element>. This would have the image shadow as a background to the image. Another solution would be to change the ...

Introduction

Infectious diseases have been affecting humans since diseases and germs were discovered. No sophisticated antibiotics or antiviral medications were available to treat neither disease nor epidemiological records to trace their origin and destinations. In contemporary societies mankind is so advanced in science and technology that, viruses, bacteria, fungi and other types of microorganisms are detected, sensitivity identified; epidemiological implications uncovered and prognoses delivered. This discussion provides an epidemiological evaluation of the Avian influenza infection as a twenty first century pandemic.

A.1 Description of Outbreak

Avian influenza is a viral infection similar to bird flu/ swine flu, dog flu, horse flu, or human flu. Epidemiologists have ...

What do you know now?

Story

What do you expect next?

After reading or listening to a story, a student gets to know something in it. He or she can then combine what he or she already know outside the story, with the clues in the story and will be able to say what will happen next (Duke & Pearson 2001). This is called prediction.

Rational: Prediction makes the students to become better readers and writers (McNamara, 2007).

Prediction will support the assessment through getting the responses from students on where the predictions can be made in a story (Hibbard and Wagner ...
